Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: Party's Over!
« on: December 14, 2018, 01:36:52 am »
i understand the embarrassment but you shouldn't be. drug addiction -- and alcohol is a drug -- is a nasty disease. our bodies compel us to do things like drink water and eat sugar and fat and breathe in and out by rewarding us chemically. when we find something that goes straight to the reward system, and takes us out of ourselves by altering our consciousness, it can be extremely difficult to give it up. and some people are more susceptible to impulsive, compulsive use than others. seems like you're in the former category, it's been clear on here for years that you have an issue with alcohol abuse.
so no, it's not as simple as "just stop drinking." but you do have agency. get yourself to an AA meeting. AA doesn't work for everyone, or maybe even most people, but it's saved some people i know. my dad's best friend is 35 years sober and still goes to AA every week, even on vacation. it completely failed for my brother. ymmv. but try it. see if you can find a therapist in your town who does dialectical behavioral therapy, one on one or in groups. try that. just keep trying to stop. do not quit on yourself.

last night
- push up x 18,21,16,16,x
bailed on last set. this is too much volume too fast. will start week over until it's possible to meet the F sets
tonight
- run 8.11 km in 41:09
long sleeves, did not check watch once, hit 5:05 pace. perfect. calves cramping up after run, which is very unusual.
- pull up x 4,4,3,4,6
- stretch
not sure what's up with calves. normal hydration and diet today, it's cool outside. maybe just a flukey thing.

MUSiC anD SHeeT! / Re: What Are You Listening To Right Now?
« on: December 12, 2018, 07:31:51 am »
my gf has a weird tendency, when she doesn't like things, to declare them not the thing that they are. for example, rap is "not music" to her because she doesn't like it. except some songs, which she does like. but nevertheless she defends her position that rap is "not music" to her, whatever anyone else's definition of music might be. this drives me crazy.
anyway she asked me to make her a playlist of rap songs to "open her mind" and i quickly ended up back in freshman year of college, listening to the pretty toney album with my roommate. what a great record.

- run x 6.5 km in 34:26, strides 3 x 150m w/walk back recovery
right knee pulled on the strides but stuck with it. third rep less pulling than first fwiw. knee a little achey after but it's already going away. max speed was 33kph according to garmin, which is not bad since strides were all uphill: the track is on a slight slant. translates to a 10.9 100.
- pull up x 5,4,3,4,5
- stretch
great conditions: 50s, light mist, soft track because it rained yesterday but not so hard that it was really muddy, no wind.

i doubt the carryover is as sensitive as you think no matter which way is "more athletic." squats are GPP for everything but squatting. belted, not belted, high bar, low bar, whatever. if you're getting stronger then they're working.
EDIT: also, yeah, sprinting with phone sounds like a bad idea. i thought you were talking about taking up jogging, in which case measuring a course on google maps takes a few minutes tops and you can carry a stopwatch or wear a cheap watch.

tweaked right knee and SI joint and left ankle at frisbee. shins sore as well but that's not enough of a reason not to run. janky hip/lower back is. motivation is at least back today.

last night
had to go straight to an event from work but had some time between to go to the gym in the office building's basement.
- progression run (treadmill) x 10 min @ 11.5 kph, 5 min @ 12.5 kph, 5 min @13.5 kph, ~7 min @ 11.5-->10 kph
- push up x 15,14,13,12
forgot to look up the proper sets beforehand and there was no signal in the gym at work. will redo this scheduled day.

lol adarq they literally take their ball and go home! sounds like a bunch of babies. that's one thing i liked about ultimate: you call your own fouls, and if the person you called it against disagrees then the play just resets to whomever was the last person to make a throw. people get chippy and mad about it but the rules have a very clear procedure for what happens in a disagreement so the flow of the game doesn't get interrupted too badly.
